Beautifull Estrelícia, a typical flower of Madeira Island. The shot is so well done.

Cheers, Alex

Glad, you like it, thanks.

Yes, we took some home; we bought them, of course. :)

Hi polytropos, I have the same flower, but in my country his name is "Flor de Pájaro". Bye, Paty.

Thanks Patricia. In german it's also called "bird of paradise flower" which is more or less the same as "Flor de Pájaro". :)
